Hey, Valve, one of your gentries went rogue.

[I>U]

I am a strong lad, Valve, I can withstand when the noble house of Segamark forces me to buy cosmetics bundled with essential DLC's or when Baron de Capcom presents me a spy(ware) [hidden in the freaking SFV].

What I can't really stand is when the savages newly introduced as your liegemen reminds me of how much of a peasant I'm within your domain. I'm not even talking about the great schemers of the past, like Planetary Anihilation or Call to Arms devs - those were some seasoned crooks professionally stripping money from the Third Estate.

I'm talking about Siltherine and their complice Proxy Studios.

Let me give you a short-review of their achievements:

1) They've ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up a lot of people because they didn't timely warn community of their intended Vulkan transition, that left abroad some customers
2) They've ♥♥♥♥♥♥ even more with how cranky it was https://steamcommunity.com/app/489630/discussions/0/1607148447816732665/
3) And while they were at it, they have promised OpenGL support for their newest major DLC, but could not resist to screw some more (ja-ja, OGL, removed, no reason specified). https://steamcommunity.com/app/489630/discussions/0/1642043096905230144/
4) But hold up the phone: they had assured Nvidia 700M and 800M owners - and that was THE ONLY Vulkan-related issue they have officially recognized - that their issue should be fixed. You can guess the outcome, right? 6 months later, screwed as well. https://steamcommunity.com/app/489630/discussions/0/1642043732655508982/
5) No suprise, they'd also decided to screw the security of some people computers. Sadly, sir Rok had deleted the relation when they were encouraging others to post those in person, but, neverthless, a great load of logs at "support" forum contains an actual system username (which is the first half of authentification chain, in case it's an admin) of the ones who posted it. And that's what the noble sire thinks of it

Gladius.log has full non-anonymized information and is every user's reponsibility to handle with the care for privacy important to them.

6) After making an awkward community warning for this post https://steamcommunity.com/app/489630/discussions/0/1736634311728344121/#c1736634311728625846, they have started to snipe my other posts, most of which I was able to return aback, but, finally, they have banned me for my last one.

They are acomplished brutes, Valve. They ignore any possible rules, including "give the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ money back when you can't hold on your promise". They ignore long-standing issues

as well as introduced

and dare to give responses in a tone like that, when they are no longer able to

Personally, I saved at least two people from tripping on their Vulkan implementation, and couldn't help the person above, because they didn't spare their time to read Steam reviews or discussion forums

https://steamcommunity.com/app/489630/discussions/0/1742266965428301821/
https://steamcommunity.com/app/489630/discussions/0/1736633446491600596/

but now they have denied me the last ability to interact with them in a civil way.

Valve, can you please stop this confrontation? I've sent a wave of reports via forums (in regard to reports posted in support), via store page (in regard to their fraud with DLC and system requirements) and via Support form and all to no avail.

You can check my history, Valve - that community warning is my first one, the community ban is my second one. Yes, I have helped the bad people to provoke a good dev in the past, but I've fully repented and cut all possible ties with them as well as my stupid review on that occassion (the said dev is in my friend-list currently, if it can prove a thing).

I'm not some streamer, and I don't want to have anything with their kind, but as it stands now, those hired blades or angry mob is the only thing that make a law in this land. Yet, I'm humbly apply to the Royal Court - please, Valve, do something with your vassal.

I'm not asking to expunge them from the store or anything alike - just ask them to finally make a statement on netcode, Vulkan and music status in the game. There are multiple reports of Vulkan-related issues for
https://steamcommunity.com/app/489630/discussions/0/1607148447816732665/?ctp=3#c1751268142245511586 - Nvidia GTX 770
https://steamcommunity.com/app/489630/discussions/0/1607148447816732665/?ctp=3#c1751268210977054306 - 970 Ti (that report has an update, a disappointing one)
https://steamcommunity.com/app/489630/discussions/0/1607148447816732665/?ctp=4#c1736633665867297216 - 1060 GTX

and their Discord looks even worse. The only Vulkan-related problems they can fix are within 1600 and 2000 series. It's been 7 months, Valve. If anything, they should have realised themselves that they should respond to those issues instead of keep selling the broken product without providing refund on it. Their lies are crumbling now and they have started to ban people. More than arrogant, it is simply stupid. And they are about to release the next major DLC. I think, it's evident for what is going to happen, especially when the last two people who didn't place themselves above this lowly disgrace are banned now.

That's not a crap in this case - that's a fraud. They frauded money from their publisher and wanna score some quick bucks on the playerbase as well. Probably.

It really is not.

your speculation is not fact. All it is, is you being butthurt over not being able to keep up with the program's requirements.

Ok. Then I have an insider's info whoes identity I can't reveal that Proxy got money from Siltherine to fund Vulkan transition. Because that would be the only specualtion I did. Prove me wrong, please

Also, hello, I'm saying I've got the other crashtypes on GTX 1050. And for your information, you can run rewinded Doom on mediums on 680 GTX on the very same Vulkan renderer.

Just like many other people, I always was within new minimals. But go ahead and call us beggars for not having 16XX or 20XX board.

Why is op trying to push a ban on devs just because of Vulkan support? That dosent add upp when there is way worse companies with low quality efforts in their games on steam.

Wasn't Slitherine Ltd. not the company with advertising and sending passwords in plain text in their launchers and 3rd party analytics in their products (games)?....

Stop pushing it as an scam when its clearly a hardware issue.
Meanwhile the game in generall is overall posetive.

Then take that 'information' to the FBI.

We'll be watching headlines for "dastardly game producer improved hardware and software requirements for game no one's heard of, imprisoned for LIFE!".

[I>U]

Well, at least I tried.

[Zekiran]

Tried "what" exactly?

Tried to slander a company because you felt it didn't do what you personally wanted it to? I mean... that's all this entire thread has been.

their money back instead of that company, if you are so freaking smart [protip: you aren't]

[Satoru]

That's not how that works ... at all

[Zekiran]

Yeah, no.

You and others not having the desire to upgrade your computer or your OS, or whatever else might be involved, does not mean you "deserve" anything.

Again: you are not a special snowflake, they are not scamming you or anyone else.

If you believe their store page is misrepresenting the product as it CURRENTLY is available, then feel free to flag it and explain that they should update their store page to reflect the current state of game.

other than that, you are woefully mistaken about how ANY of this works.

You've just jumped to the most ridiculous conclussion only to appeal "just" to your inner self. I've told you, I bought 1050 and game is crashing on it (FYI, 600 series don't crash, but glitch).

Also, why in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ world Zepp and Adrian should be willing to upgrade their gear? They were promised by the dev that the game would be working on their specs. They were headstraight screwed up, and you dare to blame them for that.

In all freaking seriousity, it's people like you that helps companies like Rockstar and Bethesda to screw up people the most. Your opinion can't withstand a bit of criticism, but you are so proud that you have it.

[Zekiran]

Um, no.

Niche issues are still exactly that. 99% of players didn't experience this issue - they can't fix everything for everyone.

there are still whiners whinging about Dishonored 2 for god's sake - which is why "it was fixed for most players" is still the phrase to use.

One size fits most.

Valve cannot do anything about Rockstar or Bethesda or whoever else.

Write a letter to the actual publisher of the game, send them your heart on your sleeve if it means so very, VERY Much to you.

There are other games. If you got more than 10 hours worth of anything from the game before that point, you got your money's worth and don't get any refund whatever after 2 hours / 2 weeks just like everyone else. If the developer or publisher sees fit to PERSONALLY HAND YOU that 40 bucks or whatever the game cost, good for you.

But Steam isn't responsible for you not having the equipment needed to continue playing a game.

While I am not an NVidea User, I am an AMD one...

You might be on to something here...

First, from what I have known is that I myself has had a lot of AMD Drivers
Breaking down on me, so i'm clearly sure it's a GPU Driver issue...

AMD has a ton of Buggs right now, & some of these
take forever to get fixed, & do get reported, & AMD has this Support line
that I nearly hate using...


I have been wanting to switch from AMD to NVidea for a long time now,
but honestly, I had been thinking? Is AMD the only ones having issues
right now? What if I jump from AMD to NVidea & it turns out my problems
are not gone... Then i'm jumping into something that I should avoid doing...



Right now, i'm torn in between which Company I should be going to
for Computer Specs., I really, really wish we had a 3rd Company Choice
right now...

NVidea has these problems above, while AMD is doing things like...

Overclocked GPU's have Flux in Memory, CPU Flux, CPU clocked at 100%,
Switching from Game to Desktop, Multi-Tasking results into Black Screens,
all sorts of stuff like this...

AMD GPU 19.12.3 = Has a huge list of Good Stuff, but also lists a lot of issues
with the Update... But that is just 1 Update, so why not wait for the Next Update?

We'll I would, except this happens... 19.7.2 all the way up to 19.12.1 were all
bad Drivers, every single one of those Updates, which is over 10 Updates in
a Row, o_@ That to me sounds like a Major Problem, does it not?
